Hey Andrew,

that's an education for me, so I will try that.  As soon as I started
thinking about it, I was not clear about what .dsc is and which ones
to download from your site.  I'm also a bit puzzled about whether the
opengl 2.x install will interfere with any opengl 3.x installation (I
assume there is no way to tell the difference during an 'import
OpenGL' statement).

Thanks, again, Darren
